AARP is Supporting ALEC Financially - Horrible

AARP is giving financial support to ALEC, the organization that supports all the worst right-wing legislation in states.

AARP attempts to justify this as follows:

"In 2016, AARP paid a fee to ALEC, which gave us an opportunity to engage with state legislators and advance our members’ priorities from a position of strength at ALEC’s annual meeting."

This is pure bull. AARP can "advance our members' priorities" without having anything to do with this vile organization of ALEC.

This is a matter of principle and morality. I am seriously considering dropping my membership of 41 years and urging everyone I know to do that too.
